This song has Melanie looking back at some aspects of her life, one of them being her musical career. If we look at it from this viewpoint, then "Nobody beside me" means that she is now a solo artist (no longer a part of a group), a status which she enjoys.

She loves being "a big fish in a little pond" ; if her commercial success is now diminished, it was a small price to pay for the personal freedom she attained. And yet again, we can ignore all of this and view the song simply as a celebration of being a single woman (or being finally free from an eating disorder, for that matter).
"That's all behind me now" – a similar idea of breaking up with the past and not looking back reappears in many songs on "Reason", it is almost a common theme of the album.

she has a dildo stuck in her vajayjay becuz of her lesbian lover shoved a super dildo up and it broke her hymen, that's why she wants to be a dyke tbh
